It would appear as though no one understood my moderately vague question! Can you make the second bay drive door flip down without trashing the front of the case? and second does O…

You can certainly install a third party cd burner in the second optical bay. It is not too difficult to do; you merely remove the drive bay from the back and install the drive. The…

I have the dual 1.0 MDD and added a 52x32x52 Lite-on cdrw to my lower bay and it was very easy. xlr8yourmac provided me with a few tips like how to slide the face of the tray off …

Down temporarily while Carlos moves the site onto an OS X box. Check the iDevGames chat room in iChat in the meanwhile if you have coding Q's.

Thanks! Sounds like a great move. Thanks!

Something wrong with the install cd is what I read on their mailing list. Hopefully soon they will be back up and running!

Should work just fine. I use the same machine.

It should work great. I've been setting up a lab full of those machines, but with smaller hard drives and less RAM, and they do quite well under 10.3.

I was shocked at how well 10.3 performed on my old DP450. Much faster than 10.2, and a much greater difference than 10.1-10.2. Of course, it was being installed from my new G5 DVD

I use ID2 on the DP450 everyday. It runs ok, but you have to remember ID2 can clog up with large documents or quality previews switched on. I have 1GB RAM with this machine and wo…

Just wondering how the dual 450 would stack up against a 733ghz G4 PM?

For stuff like that which is not MP aware you'd BETTER go with a beefier single. A 733 is good but lacks decent cache so I'd say a 733 graphite or 867 qs.

Hmmm, Just got the dual 450... worked out much cheaper in the end. The stuff I'm doing is not that intensive, in fact I used to do it on a G4 400, so I should be OK... Only thing …

The Lite-on LTR-52327S is fully supported for everything in 10.3. I had one, but I sold it and got a Combo drive instead. NewEgg has the LTR-52327S in stock right now for $39 w/ fr…

My combo drive is an LG GCC-4480B. I think it's discontinued, but this particular model is 48x24x48x and is also fully supported in OS X. I got it on eBay.

I have been looking for a decently priced GCC-4480B for quite a while. However, it would appear that the word is out amoungst the Mac geeks that the drive is fully supported under …

I second the vote for the GCC-4480B, I have one in my yikes G4 and it works great under 10.3. I'm looking for a second one to put in a firewire case for my quicksilver... Bummer …
